At the start of every season, I like to predict how I think the final Premier League table will look, as well as guess the winners of the various cup competitions.
This time, I’ve decided to post my predictions on here so everyone who reads this can laugh at how horribly wrong I will inevitably be.
Manchester City are my pick for the title, and the reason for that is simple: Pep Guardiola.
Much of the hype has surrounded Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba on the other side of town, but for me, this might be just a season too soon for United.
For City, Guardiola will reinvigorate and re-motivate a previously tired, ageing squad which has been given a makeover with the addition of several bright young stars.
Manchester United and Chelsea also have new managers and I predict they won’t be far away, while I can’t see Leicester or Tottenham quite being able to replicate their efforts of last season.
At the other end, Hull City are in disarray with no manager, no new signings and an unhappy fanbase, and I can’t see anything other than relegation. Picking who goes down alongside them, though, is a tricky task. I’ve gone for Swansea and fellow new boys Burnley.
My full predictions are below:
